Join the Heart of San Diego's Historic Preservation Community
with your SOHO Membership

By Dean Glass
SOHO Membership Manager
November/December 2023

Passion, dedication, and a shared commitment to preserving the historic and cultural treasures that define us. That’s SOHO’s mission and this is your invitation to join our cause!

Your membership dues aren't just purposeful transactions; they're investments in preserving our common heritage. By joining SOHO, you become a voice and a force for historic preservation, helping to shape policies, cityscapes, and landscapes for generations to come.

As a member, you will enjoy year-round access to SOHO's two house museums, the Marston House Museum & Gardens in the city, and Warner-Carrillo Ranch House in the backcountry. You’ll wrap yourself in the architectural and cultural tapestries that make San Diego County so special. Bring your guests along, too, with complimentary passes!

Your museum shop discount is an added bonus that allows you to shop with purpose! SOHO membership is your passport to exclusive savings, with a 15% discount on purchases at both of our museum shops, where you’ll find thoughtfully curated gifts, books, and keepsakes that honor and illuminate San Diego's vibrant history.

As a SOHO member you can also share interests and knowledge with like-minded folk at exclusive member events. Actually, our gatherings are more than events; they're affirmations of our commitment to preservation. You’ll be invited to enjoy the annual members-only holiday party this December to be held at a house celebrating its 100th birthday. In inspiring historic surroundings, you’ll forge connections with fellow members who, like you, hold San Diego's cultural legacy close to their hearts.

We will keep you connected with our bi-monthly Our Heritage eNews via email. We don't just send emails; we share stories and take the pulse of preservation efforts and needs. Six times a year, you will receive SOHO’s enews, a digital window into the latest local preservation news. Stay current on advocacy, events, exhibits, and tactics and techniques that serve San Diego's preservation community.

We also offer members-only programs through our relationships and partnerships with other museums, historic sites, and organizations. The Big Exchange Program with the San Diego Museum Council is a prime example, where the month of May brings more than flowers: It brings free access! As a SOHO member next May, you can enjoy reciprocal admissions to over 40 San Diego institutions and attractions, immersing yourself in the entire county’s vibrant cultural landscape at no extra cost.

Joining SOHO is more than becoming a member; it's becoming a guardian of San Diego's architectural and cultural legacies. Membership starts at just $25. Become a SOHO member today! And while you’re at it, why not consider giving gift memberships for the holidays?
